Joining in on What we Learned in March
1. That my IPhone can run out of space. I’ve had my phone for a couple years now, and was sure that it was unconquerable. Were kind of the best of friends, my phone and I. When I wasn’t able to take pictures any more….I wanted to cry. I had to make the terrible decision to delete pictures or music. Since both are linked to the ever growing “Cloud” the eternal impact wasn’t so bad, but it was still a gut wrenching experience.
2. That I absolutely adore this Happy Song.
I feel like it’s connected to my soul somehow!
It keeps my toes tapping!!
3. Bento Boxes. Why am I just finding out
about this lunch time craze? I am getting super obsessed. I just love all the
creative things folks are doing with theirs! I feel a Panda Peanut Butter and
Jelly bear in my future!
4. I need to do a better job of documenting
the little details of life. I’ve done a good job of taking pictures of the
people, animals, and interactions that make life so wonderful, but I miss out
on the little stuff that makes life tic for me. Things like my yummy breakfast sandwich,
or the toy that Diesel killed recently, or the neighbors beautiful flowers that
I look at just about every day when I come home. The little things are often
better at representing our soul footprint.
5. Inspired is such an interesting
word. We watched the movie “Noah”, which
was advertised as being inspired by events of the Bible. The movie was
fantastic from a special effects and acting perspective. I continue to love Anthony Hopkins, and
enjoyed him playing Methuselah. Inspire
is defined as “to give rise to”, and in this context I can see the events
written in the Bible portrayed in the movie. However, there was plenty of creative license used,
to get us to those glorious 2 hours and 12 minutes. The added fiction certainly
helped me focus on the Biblical Truth. I
wished that they had called the creator by his given name, God. I was
confounded by the Watchers, and felt a sense of similarity with the Lord of the
Rings character Treebeard. I was touched
with the emotions expressed by Ila (Emma Watson’s Character) knowing that she
was barren. I was impressed by the focus
on the human struggles, and really made me ponder what it would have been like
to be Noah, and the difficult decisions he had to make. I’ve learned that in the midst of man’s creativity,
I find the inspiration to learn God’s truth.
